Raghubir Yadav Divorce-Alimony Case:: Actor Raghubir Yadav has not been paying alimony, alleged his estranged wife and former Kathak dancer Purnima Kharge.
Advertisment
The couple got separated in 1995. Raghubir Yadav's wife Purnima told TOI that she wasn't paid for five months last year. She had to leave her house in Yari Road as she couldn't pay the rent on time. She said that she is in debt and had to mortgage her gold. The same thing happened this year. She went unpaid for four months. She received Rs.80,000 for two months. This was two months before their date in court.
The Lagaan actor's lawyer told the daily that what Purnima has been asking for is a huge amount. This is the reason why there hasn't been any settlement in the case. The lawyers alleged the case is being dragged after all these years.
The lawyer added that Purnima should take Raghubir Yadav's age into consideration. He is 71 years old now.
However, Purnima's lawyer Ishika Tolani said that Raghubir Yadav's career is on the right track and paying alimony to her shouldn't pose a challenge to him.
After living separately for 15 years, Purnima decided to file a divorce petition last year accusing him of desertion and adultery. The couple has a 30-year-old son.
According to a Mumbai Mirror report, Purnima had claimed in her divorce petition that she gave up her career as an international Kathak dancer. She wanted to support her husband during his struggling days in the film industry. He eventually became a successful actor but left her for other women, she claimed.
